Записка № 95. Here And Now.

[Shin LiR]

Ещё один значимый релиз ноября: Nickelback - Here And Now. Данная работа группы оставила противоречивые впечатления - с одной строны, звучание стало более мелодичным по сравнению с Dark Horse, текстов на мрачные темы меньше, а лирики - больше. По меткому замечанию Фары - непонятно, то ли это фейл, то ли это толстый троллинг в ответ на обвинения в том, что Никели поют только о сиськах и бухле. Полагаю, музыкальные критики, традиционно не испытывающие особой любви к Nickelback, в долгу не останутся и жёстко пройдутся пером по Here And Now.
Несмотря на общую неоднозначность, пластинку послушать всё же стоит, так как на ней есть хорошие композиции, которые хочется слушать и слушать.

Nickelback - Holding On To Heaven

And if forever never comes tonight,
And if forever never comes tonight,
And if forever never comes tonight,
I’ll hold on, hold on...

I keep listenin’ to my chest
For a beat but there’s nothin’ left,
It’s been a week since I’ve seen you
And I still can’t believe it
‘Cuz I’m dyin’ inside alone
And every day we gotta be apart,
I’m like a baby with a broken heart
But the second that I see you,
You will know how much I need you
‘Cuz I’ll never be letting you go

Now you know I...
I’m lost without you
And there’s nothing I can do,
You’re the one I can’t go without
If I ain’t holding on to you
Then I’ll be holding out forever,
I’ve got you now and,
I’m not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
‘Cuz every moment that I’m with you
It’s like I’m holding on to Heaven

If forever never comes tonight
And if forever never comes tonight,
And if forever never comes tonight
I’ll hold on, hold on...

And if I could write a symphony,
Baby, you would be my melody
And you flow like a river
Slowly going on forever
Like a feather that’s blowing away,
Like everyone that needs a fairy tale,
Like every mother’s love that never fails,
Like every game that needs a player,
Every sinner needs a savior
I’m the villain you’re willing to save

Now you know I...
I’m lost without you
And there’s nothing I can do,
You’re the one I can’t go without
If I ain’t holding on to you
Then I’ll be holding out forever,
I’ve got you now and
I’m not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
‘Cuz every moment that I’m with you
It’s like I’m holding on to Heaven, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven

And I’m willing to wait
Just to see you another day,
What I’m waiting for
Will wash this pain away
And it’s never too late, never too late

If forever never comes tonight
And if forever never comes tonight,
And if forever never comes tonight
I’ll hold on, hold on...

Now you know I...
I’m lost without you
And there’s nothing I can do,
You’re the one I can’t go without
If I ain’t holding on to you
Then I’ll be holding out forever,
I’ve got you now and
I’m not letting go of you
Never be together long enough
‘Cuz every moment that I’m with you
It’s like I’m holding on to Heaven...

Nickelback - Trying Not To Love You

You call to me, and I fall at your feet,
How could anyone ask for more?
And our time apart, like knives in my heart,
How could anyone ask for more?


But if there's a pill to help me forget,
God knows I haven't found it yet
But I'm dying to, God I'm trying to

'Cuz trying not to love you only goes so far,
Trying not to need you is tearing me apart,
Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor
And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for
'Cuz trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more,
Only makes me love you more

And this kind of pain, only time takes away
That's why it's harder to let you go
And nothing I can do, without thinking of you
That's why it's harder to let you go


But if there's a pill to help me forget,
God knows I haven't found it yet
But I'm dying to, God I'm trying to

'Cuz trying not to love you only goes so far,
Trying not to need you is tearing me apart,
Can't see the silver lining, from down here on the floor
And I just keep on trying, but I don't know what for
'Cuz trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more

So I sit here divided, just talking to myself
Was it something that I did?
Was there somebody else?
When a voice from behind me, that was fighting back tears
Sat right down beside me, and whispered right in my ear,
Tonight I'm dying to tell you

That trying not to love you only went so far,
Trying not to need you was tearing me apart,
Now I see the silver lining from what we're fighting for
And if we just keep on trying we could be much more
'Cuz trying not to love you,
Oh, yeah, trying not to love you
Only makes me love you more,
Only makes me love you more...
